Chapter 1061: Control (2)
Chapter 1061: Control (2)
When the undead started attacking each other, it didn’t seem like they were holding back at all.
The undead that were attacking the other undead went all out against the ones that they were attacking. It was as if they wouldn’t stop unless their bodies were completely destroyed.
As such, the other undead around them had no choice but to fight back with all their might as well.
But the moment that these undead were destroyed, it seemed like there were more undead that took their place. It seemed like there was some kind of disease that was affecting these undead as it spread through them.
Though it would be strange if the undead could catch a disease in the first place.
Klein and the others just looked down in shock as more and more of the undead started attacking the other undead.
This didn’t seem like a simple betrayal since in the first place, undead didn’t have the will to betray their horde in the first place. It wasn’t as if the undead had minds of their own, they were nothing more than walking corpses that followed another’s will.
So for them to start attacking the other undead around them, it meant that there must be something causing this.
Klein and the others watching just had confused looks slowly appear on their faces as they watched all of this. They just couldn’t figure out what was happening with the undead that was causing this.
That was until they suddenly thought of something.
Everyone immediately turned to look at me, but I just ignored all of them as I focused on the undead under us.
During this whole time, I was holding an orb in my hand and pointed it forward.
There were still wisps of dark energy coming from that orb.
They slowly figured that it was their king that had done something.
After all, there had to be a reason why he wanted to come here in the first place.
That was right.
I was the one that was controlling those undead to attack the other undead.
What I was doing this with was the Orb of the Dead that I was holding in my hand.
In the past, I wouldn’t have been able to use this Orb of the Dead properly since I had a lack of mana. However, since getting this Staff of Earth and slowly training my mana up every day, I was finally able to use this Orb of the Dead properly.
The only problem was that I wasn’t able to send the energy of the Orb of the Dead that far. That was why I had wanted to come out over the undead horde in the first place.
I couldn’t spread the dark energy of the Orb of the Dead all the way over here from atop the walls, so I had to fly out here so I could use the Orb of the Dead on this undead horde.
Once I could control these undead, it was a simple matter giving them orders to attack the undead around them.
They were all enemies and threats to our kingdom, so there was no need to hold back at all when it came to dealing with these undead. It was better if they destroyed each other in the end.
That was why I didn’t care as I had the undead that I controlled destroy themselves as they attacked the other undead.
After controlling quite a few of them, I had the time to take a breather.
With a sigh, I said, “Watch over them to see if there are any strange movements. I’m going to catch my breath and regain some of my mana before I start on the rest of them.”
Klein and the others looked at me with strange looks, but they still nodded in agreement.
It was strange for them to receive acknowledgement for their guesses, but they were professional soldiers in the first place.
Once they received the order, they would suppress their personal feelings and carry out their order. Especially since they could see that what I was doing was having an effect.
After watching the undead fight each other for a bit, Klein asked, “Should we provide cover fire from the sky for the undead?”
I was surprised to hear him say this, but I looked at him with a trace of admiration in my eyes.
I knew why he was suggesting this, but I also knew that it wouldn’t be good to do this right
now.
After all, there was no telling how the undead would react if we provoked them.
They had ignored us as we flew over them and they were busy dealing with the other undead that were attacking them. So if we suddenly drew their attention to us, it was unknown what they would do.
The controlling the undead plan was already working, so there was no need to push our luck.
With a shake of my head, I said, “There’s no need to push them right now. We have no idea what these undead are capable of since we have no idea where they came from in the first place. For now, let’s just use this safe method to whittle them down before deciding if we should attack as well.”
Klein narrowed his eyes to look down again before slowly nodding in agreement.
After a few minutes, I had caught my breath and regained a bit of mana.
Since that was the case, I brought up the Orb of the Dead once more and prepared to control more of the undead.
As the wisps of dark energy were leaking out of the Orb of the Dead, I couldn’t help deeply knitting my brows.
That was because there was a strange reaction coming from the dark energy that only I could feel.
“Defend!” I suddenly shouted, but it was already a bit too late as there was a spear of bones that suddenly flew through the sky towards where we were flying.
